OpenEmbedded / Ångström meta layer for bitminer Miner
To build a bitmainer miner firmware, first prepare a build machine as per OpenEmbedded Required software instructions at http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Getting_started
When machine is prepared proceed to prepare the bitmainer firmware build by running
git clone git@github.com:bitmaintech/Antminer_firmware.git
cd antminer_firmware
MACHINE=beaglebone ./oebb.sh config beaglebone
To build the firmware rootfs run
. environment-angstrom-v2013.06
bitbake bitmainer
and then wait for quite a bit for the build to complete.
Note: You will need ~11GB free disk space.
The resulting root initramfs will be in
antminer_firmware/deploy/eglibc/images/beaglebone/Angstrom-bitmainer-eglibc-ipk-v2013.06-beaglebone.rootfs.cpio.gz.u-boot
To build the Linux kernel image run
. environment-angstrom-v2013.06
bitbake virtual/kernel
which results in a kernel image at
antminer_firmware/deploy/eglibc/images/beaglebone/
